The problem of robotic and virtual interaction with physical objects has been the subject of research for many years in both the robotic manipulation and haptics communities. Both communities have focused much attention on human touch-based perception and manipulation, modelling contact between real or virtual hands and objects, or mechanism design. However, as a whole, these problems have not yet been addressed from a unified perspective. This edited book is the outcome of a well-attended workshop which brought together leading scholars from various branches of the robotics, virtual-reality, and human studies communities during the 2004 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation. It covers some of the most challenging problems on the forefront of today’s research on physical interaction with real and virtual objects, with special emphasis on modelling contacts between objects, grasp planning algorithms, haptic perception, and advanced design of hands, devices and interfaces.

Depuis soixante ans, les marchés pharmaceutiques ont connu de profonds bouleversements : la construction dans la période post-coloniale d’une industrie pharmaceutique dans les Suds ; les nouvelles trajectoires marchandes Sud-Sud dans les années 1970 ; puis, dans les années 2000, l’émergence de la Global Health et le déploiement de ses marchés de « donateurs globaux ». Une hiérarchie nouvelle et une compétition accrue entre médicaments nord-américains, européens et asiatiques sont désormais installées. Tout en faisant leur part aux héritages coloniaux, cet ouvrage décortique de manière inédite ces bouleversements, prenant en compte de manière intégrée l’ensemble de la chaîne pharmaceutique, toutes les catégories d’acteurs qui s’y déploient, ainsi que les différents modes de régulation impliqués (administratives, professionnelles, industrielles, marchandes, de la santé globale et populaires). Prenant comme porte d’entrée les combinaisons thérapeutiques à base d’artémisinine (CTA) recommandées dans le traitement du paludisme, le collectif d’auteurs analyse les conséquences sanitaires, économiques et politiques de ces changements à partir de trois pays d’Afrique de l’Ouest et d’un pays d’Asie du Sud-Est. Entre exigences de santé publique et intérêts économiques, entre velléités de soins et imaginaires de consommation, ce livre met en évidence les dualités inhérentes au médicament et propose in fine réflexions et outils pour gouverner les marchés pharmaceutiques dans l’intérêt de la santé publique, privilégiant la sûreté des produits, leur utilité thérapeutique et leur accessibilité. Un ouvrage indispensable pour la compréhension globale des enjeux qui animent aujourd’hui les marchés du médicament aux Suds.
